And now that we've established that we don't do mixed steppings anymore
and the microcode revision is the same system-wide, you should simply
drop this pr_info(), in your next patch you're adding

+static u32 early_old_rev;

That thing should simply be

/* Currently applied microcode revision */
static u32 microcode_rev;

and you simply update that one each time you update microcode and print
it as the previous and the new one and then write the new one into this
var and that's it. Simple.

Thx.
